The introduction of fully driverless vehicles is expected to have a significant impact on employment, with some job losses and changes in employment patterns. While there will be negative impacts on the workforce as a whole, new job opportunities may also arise. The Committee recognizes that governments and industry should prepare for the automation-led transition of the Australian workforce to minimize potential negative effects. The report highlights various sectors that may be affected, including professional drivers, the vehicle industry, traffic police, lawyers, hospital workers, and businesses involved in supply chain management. Additionally, new job opportunities may emerge through increased demand in existing sectors or the evolution of entirely new industries and business models.
